Rashford's Return to Manchester United ESPN Soccer reports that Marcus Rashford will return to Manchester United next week to start his preseason preparations. This comes after Barcelona failed to trigger their €30 million option to make his loan move permanent, instead investing over €90 million in signing Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi.

Contract and Club Context Rashford still has two years left on his Old Trafford contract, which could make it difficult for the club to sell him. The path back to his boyhood club has been smoothed by Ruben Amorim's January departure, with Michael Carrick taking over as manager.

Relationship Between Rashford and Carrick Carrick and Rashford are understood to have a good relationship, which could help ease the return of the England international to the club. Carrick played with Rashford under Louis van Gaal and was also his coach when Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer were in charge.

Rashford's Future at Manchester United Rashford's return creates other issues for the club, including the potential impact on their transfer plans. His weekly wage of £325,000-a-week is a major stumbling block for almost every club in the world. Rashford's representatives have played down reports of possible moves to the Turkish Super Lig and Saudi Pro League, citing his desire to remain part of the England squad.
